GTO of the Month
My GTO
By Mike McNeil
Becky and I purchased the 2006 GTO in July of that year. Laura
Pontiac Buick GMC, of Collinsville Illinois, had several GTO’s on their lot.
The GTO’s colors on the lot were silver, black and red along with the Brazen Orange Metallic that you see here. The only other variations in the cars
were auto or 6 speed manual transmissions and 17 inch or 18 inch wheel
and tire combinations. All of the modern GTO’s were equipped the same
except for the tire/wheels and transmissions. I was set on a 6-speed and 18
inch wheel package. I started many trips to the lot to see and study the cars..
That orange color sure reminded me of the wild colors that some muscle
cars had in the late 60’s and early 70’s. Becky reminded me that we have
had enough black cars. I took this to be an endorsement for the Brazen Orange GTO. I finally went on a test drive and was impressed how strong it
ran. I had not experienced that much power since my 69 Camaro. I got
Becky to drive and told her to floor it in 2nd gear and she was on board after
that.

There was a small plastic spoiler that attached to the front of the roof that smoothed the air over
the opening and stopped the air buffeting in the cabin. This worked very well.
I had over 175,000 miles on the GT when I sold it. Auto critics of the period were not

Happy New Year
If you have not yet renewed your Gateway membership please complete the Application Form found in this newsletter and get your $35 check (includes 12 months of GTOAA
membership) to Will Bowers. Members/Associate Members in good standing can attend the
Stars & Cars Gala party on February 23rd at no cost. We have negotiated a good deal with the
Sheraton Westport for usage of their banquet facility “The View” at the top of the gold tower
at Westport Plaza. It’s not called “The View” for nothing – at night the view all the way to
downtown is breathtaking. Members in good standing will enjoy a buffet dinner, two drink
tickets (then an open cash bar) and music provided by Arvell & Dawn – all compliments of
the Club. Dinner, dancing and fellowship are on the agenda. Come dressed as a movie star,
famous person, famous couple or just use your imagination. Awards will be presented so polish up your acceptance speeches. Additionally, a room-block will be available at $101 plus
tax for those who choose to spend the night at the hotel and includes the hotel’s buffet breakfast the next morning. This should be some blast of a party.
We have an officer change at Club Secretary. Shauna Wollmershauser has accepted
employment with SCT Performance in Sanford, Florida and is making the move at the end of
January. While Shauna will maintain her membership in Gateway GTO, SCT will likely offer
her a permanent position after the first 90 days of employment. Brian O’Sullivan was on the
2011 officers ballot running against Shauna and has graciously agreed to assume the office of
Club Secretary. Very Best Wishes to Shauna in her new endeavors and special thanks to Brian
for picking up the Secretary reins.
Thanks also to Cecil Morton for organizing the Club Pizza Party with Ravanelli’s Restaurant in Granite City. We filled the banquet room and our bellies. I turned 60 the day before
and Saundra decided to treat the members to GTO cake in honor of everyone’s birthdays and
passed around placemats made up of historical photographs of yours truly. Many days I feel
30 between the ears and 90 from the neck down – appropriately those numbers average out to
60. Muchos Gracias to those who plied me with those great birthday cards.
We are busily crafting the 2013 Club Calendar. In the meantime get your dues in and
RSVP to me for the Stars & Cars Gala – it’ll be a monster bash.

GATEWAY GTO PIZZA PARTY
By Chris Winslow
One of my favorite events of the Gateway GTO year is the annual Pizza Party. By mid
January when this event occurs, most of us have put our cars up for winter storage to protect
them from the Midwest staple of salt and sand on the roads. This event gives us all a chance to
get together, find out what projects everyone has underway on their cars and look forward to the
opening of the car season on Easter Sunday.
This year we once again held our pizza party event at Ravanelli’s Restaurant in Granite
City. As some may remember, we moved to this venue from Serra’s Pizzeria in Maryland
Heights because we had outgrown Serra’s space. Based on the huge turnout at the pizza party
this year, we
may be looking
for an even larger venue in
the next year or

REPLACEMENT OF IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER
ON 2004-2006 GTO
By Chris Winslow
Many of you with the newer GTO’s have probably either heard of or experienced a
problem with the ignition lock cylinder. The problem is one of a fairly poor design, both in
terms of the cylinder itself and in terms of the material selected in its fabrication. The net result is that the cylinder can wind up locked up to the point that the key cannot be turned from
the locked position. Since it is necessary to turn the key to the unlocked position to remove and
replace the cylinder, this locked condition has led to more than a few GTO’s (and Monaros)
needing the entire steering column replaced.
GM has recognized the problem and issued a TSB to correct it. TSB 09-02-35-003 discusses the problem in some detail and then describes removal of the old cylinder. For that removal, the TSB describes both a normal procedure for those instances where the key will still
work, and a fairly novel procedure for instances where the key will not turn.
The key to the new TSB, however, is the new part the GM has issued. The new cylinder is revised in both the shape of the ramps that were such a problem on the old part and in the selection of a harder material that hopefully will prove more durable.
In my case, I had been fortunate enough not to have had any issues, but then again, my
GTO still has relatively low miles. After giving it some thought, I decided to go ahead and replace the cylinder on my car as a preventative measure.
The first step in this process is to make sure to get the new part. The old lock cylinder is
still available and some Pontiac parts counter guys may not be aware of the new part number.
The part required is GM part number 92234035. This part is key (no pun intended!). Unless
you want to be doing this again at some point in the future, you should be sure to get the new
part. I tried to order mine from a local dealer. First I was told no such part existed. When they
were confronted with a copy of the GM TSB listing that part number, they backed off that and
changed their story to indefinite backorder. I finally ended up ordering it on-line from
GMpartshouse.com.
The actual replacement is fairly straightforward. The first step, after disconnecting the
battery to disable the airbags, is to remove the upper and lower steering column covers. To do
this, first extend and lower the steering column to the maximum extent possible. Then remove
the knee bolster from beneath the column. With the bolster off, remove the screw that secures
the lower cover to the steering column and then GENTLY separate the upper cover from the
lower. These two are snapped together and will come apart with a little wiggling. If you are
too aggressive, you will break the tabs on the housings, so take your time. With the upper cover
THE HOOD SCOOP
12
Gateway GTO Tech Article
off, push the lower cover towards the steering wheel
a bit to work it off of its seat and then pull it off.
With both covers off, what you will see should look
like the picture at the right.
The next step is top remove the key reader/
ignition light. This assembly simply snaps on to the
ignition lock cylinder, so to remove it, just pull it off
towards the passenger side of the car. The TSB and
the factory service manuals both say to disconnect
this unit, but I found that it could just be pushed
aside without disconnecting the wires.
With the reader out of the way, the next step
is to remove the cylinder assembly from the steering
column. In my case, with a lock that is still working, this is a very straightforward process. Simply
insert the key and rotate it while at the same time
inserting a small probe into the hole on the top of the
cylinder housing. I ended up using a 2mm hex
wrench. The short side easily cleared the control stalk above. As you turn the key, you will
feel the cylinder start to move outward towards the passenger side of the car. Then simply remove the probe and the cylinder will be free to remove. See the series of photos below:
Releasing Cylinder with Hex Wrench
THE HOOD SCOOP

Gateway GTO Tech Article
Extracting Released Cylinder
With the cylinder out of the way, you will need to latch the steering wheel locking
mechanism out of the way so that you will be able to get the cylinder back in later. This is a
really pretty easy if you know what you are looking for. Essentially, there is a small latch that
you need to push down until it locks. The next three photos illustrate the process.

The next step is to actually replace the lock cylinder. This can sound like a really involved
process, but it is actually very simple, provided that you take your time. There is one absolute
rule that you MUST follow for this procedure and that is you MUST NOT remove the key at
any time. Doing so will release all of the lock elements and will require that they all be reinstalled in the correct locations and orientations for your particular key. That is something you
THE HOOD SCOOP
15
Gateway GTO Tech Article
do not want to deal with, so just be sure the key stays in the lock. With that warning in mind,
the lock itself needs to be removed from the lock cylinder so that the lock can be transferred to
the new cylinder. To accomplish this, first turn the assembly so that you are looking at the end
opposite to where the key goes in. You will see a pin on that side of the assembly that is riding
inside of a groove machined into the cylinder. Rotate the key such that the pin rotates counterclockwise until it hits the stop. See the photo below.
Pin Stop Assembly Positioned for Pin Removal
The next step is very easy, but must be done with extreme care. The pin shown in the
photo above is spring loaded. In order to extract the lock from the cylinder, that pin must be
depressed towards the centerline of the assembly while rotating the key such that the lock turns
counterclockwise. This will allow the pin to clear the stop. BEFORE YOU DO THIS
PLEASE READ THIS WARNING!!!!!!!!! The spring that keeps the pin in place is very
strong. You must make sure that as you rotate the pin past the stop that you keep control of it.
If you do not, the pin and the spring can become projectiles and you will be spending the next
hour and a half looking for them. GM is serious enough about the concern that these objects
could become projectiles that they actually recommend that the service techs wear safety
glasses for this step.
Once the pin is clear of the stop, your assembly should look like the photo below.
THE HOOD SCOOP
16
Gateway GTO Tech Article
Assembly with Pin Clear of Stop
With the pin clear of the stop, it can now be removed from the lock. Simply pull it out. Make
sure to keep track of the spring during this process. In my case, the spring stayed in place inside of the lock, and I did not try to extract it. With the pin removed, carefully pull the lock
from the cylinder making sure not to dislodge the key during the process. The photo below
shows what this will look like.
Lock Removed from Cylinder
THE HOOD SCOOP

Gateway GTO Tech Article
From this point forward, the process is to reverse the removal process, except use the
new cylinder in place of the old one. One key step is to lubricate the new cylinder. In my case
I used a good synthetic grease that will provide lubrication over a wide temperature range.
Once the cylinder is lubed up, insert the lock into the new cylinder, position the pin in place,
depress it, and rotate the assembly clockwise so that the pin is once again captive. The assembly is now ready to re-install back into the car.
Installing the assembly back into the car is relatively straightforward. The one thing that
you need to do is make sure that the key is in the unlocked position. When the key is in the
unlocked position, you will be able to depress the locking tab on the outside of the cylinder assembly. See the photos below.
Locking Tab

Depressed
Positioning Key so that Locking Tab can be Depressed
With the key oriented in the unlocked position, simply insert the cylinder into the steering column. If you have the steering wheel locking tab correctly locked out of the way, the cylinder will simply slide in and lock itself into position.
After this step, the rest is easy. Just snap the key reader back on, reinstall the steering
column covers, reinstall the knee bolster, and reconnect the battery.
